Just Ignore Him by Alan Davies
4.0
Boys deserve so much better from the world.
This is such a raw and personal book that it's difficult to react to, particularly because it is such a bare, unvarnished tale. There's no twist of sentimentality, no self-helpy American urge to tie everything up in a little bow. I'm just feeling a wave of compassion and respect for the little boy who managed to become apparently quite a good man with so many obstacles.
Alan's recounting of his early childhood memories is so touching. It's reinvigorated my desire to pour as much kindness and love as possible into the young people in my life even when I think they're too young to remember.
